CyclistPro bike: Tadej Pogaars 2026 Ronde-winning Colnago Y1RsTwo-time world champion Tadej Pogaar got his cobbled Classics campaign off to a flying start last weekend with a third career win at the Tour of Flanders. Now with the first cobbled obstacle dealt with, all eyes are on Paris-Roubaix, where he could pick up a fifth consecutive Monument to complete the full set.For Flanders, the UAE Team Emirates-XRG leader opted, as usual, for Colnagos aero bike, the Y1Rs. Unique for its seagull-shaped cockpit, bayonet fork and seatpost junction, the bike has been the Slovenians weapon of choice since last years Tour de France. However, this was his first Tour of Flanders victory on the bike, as he rode the old V4Rs during his previous triumphs. However this is now his third consecutive Monument victory with the Y1Rs.Pro photographer Xavier Pereyron caught up with the race-winning bike after Pogaars Flanders victory in Oudenaarde.
